[0002] In the current oil and gas production operations, preventing underground oil and gas leakage is one of the important tasks. Oil and gas leakage will not only cause the loss of oil and gas resources, but also may cause environmental pollution and production safety accidents. In the process of oil production, the rod of the pumping unit needs to go through the process of upstroke and downstroke. In oil production, it is usually necessary to set a wellhead device at the wellhead to achieve sealing, so as to prevent oil leakage and other phenomena during the oil pumping process, which will cause environmental pollution.
[0003] The patent with the publication number CN215213408U discloses a double-sealed wellhead device for oil and gas production. It includes a wellhead device body, a retaining ring fixed inside the wellhead device body, a sealing ring fixed inside the retaining ring, a light rod passing through the sealing ring and connected with the sealing ring in a sliding and sealing manner, a lower cone sleeve concentric with the retaining ring fixed at the lower end of the retaining ring, an upper cone sleeve fixed inside the wellhead device body above the retaining ring, a conical sealing sleeve installed inside the upper cone sleeve, the outer edge of the light rod and the inner edge of the sealing sleeve are connected in a sliding and sealing manner, the outer edge of the sealing sleeve is in sealing contact with the inner edge of the upper cone sleeve, a pressure ring is provided on the upper sleeve of the light rod above the sealing sleeve, a top ring is fixed at the lower end of the pressure ring, the lower end of the top ring is tightly against the upper end of the sealing sleeve, a cover ring is detachably fixed and sealed at the upper end of the wellhead device body, and a spring is provided on the upper sleeve of the light rod between the cover ring and the pressure ring. The utility model has good sealing performance, has a double sealing effect, can prevent oil and gas from leaking, avoids waste of oil and gas, avoids pollution of the surrounding environment, and has a long service life.
[0004] The above-mentioned prior art polished rod is sealed and connected with the sealing ring and the sealing sleeve, and the sealing ring and the sealing sleeve realize double sealing of the polished rod, but the sealing ring is arranged in the retaining ring, and the lower graphite ring is arranged in the lower cone sleeve. When the sealing ring and the lower graphite ring are worn, the sealing ring and the lower graphite ring cannot be replaced due to the obstruction of the upper cone sleeve, resulting in the need to replace the wellhead device as a whole, which increases the subsequent maintenance cost. In view of this, we propose a downhole bidirectional sealing device. Utility Model Content
